how to get IMEI number from an erased phone?

Cleaning my late husband's phone. AT&T guy had me erase the phone. Then he had me go to unlock the phone from the website. Now it wants the IMEI number from the phone which has been erased! How do I retrieve that number???

Hello @Weezy,

 

We'd like to help you find the IMEI of your device.

 

Are you not able to see it under settings>General>About?

 

Also, is this a device that was purchased through AT&T on your wireless account?

 

Please let us know.
